Critical Security Studies

The Critical Security Studies (CSS) research group focuses on issues related to traditional security (such as the proliferation, management and resolution of armed conflict) and non-traditional security concerns (including transnational organised crime; terrorism; human security and the everyday spaces and practices of security). The group is particularly interested in the intersections between traditional and non-traditional security and encourages interdisciplinary knowledge-exchange and approaches to the conceptualisation and management of security challenges.
